This was a nice build,although the hull had some very bad joints,and internal bulkheads were needed to correct and straighten the hull,making it rigid and helping to ensure the decks fitted properly. I still have some minor issue,decals,flags,numbering. But this was my first of this type of warship and I certainly want the larger S-100 to RC. Although my skills are average,after returning to the Hobby,this kit was a fun build,and a learning build as well.

Looks very nice! I was wondering if the kit provided any interior parts for the pilothouse? Timothy |

Not really,thier is a helm,and wheel but little else.Still their is some nice detailing to this kit.But the lower hull is terrible. I was able using plasticard sheet to strengthen the hull and straighten it's rather twisted appearence. I used mostly aresol paints on the hull nd hand painted the rest.I have a fine airbrush set but did not use it on this kit.Some regretes on that discission,but the ship looks basic,as delivered for service. A paint scheme i CONSIDERED was just beyond my skill level.Here is a picture. Attachment:

S dog, your E boat looks good...... I like this class better than the S-100. |

Thanks Dan, I would like to build the Larger and later version as well. Possibly after the other projects I am involved in. Blake |

Two more pictures that may help other during assembly,superstructure fitting was without any problems.I paint and detail the entire superstructure prior to fitting .Even at this stage I did no secure the superstructure,just tested the fitting and set it aside until other details were installed.
